Sandblasting on Glass in Luxembourg — Frosted Finishes, Patterns and Decoration
Sandblasting fires sand or an abrasive under pressure at the surface of the glass, abrading it to give a frosted, matt finish that diffuses the light. Vitralux does the blasting in its own workshop, on glass of any size: an even frosted finish, patterns, privacy zoning or architectural decoration.
An abrasive under pressure, a frosted finish made to measure
Unlike industrial satin-finish glass, which is acid-etched in the factory, the hand sandblasting Vitralux carries out gives you real freedom: bespoke patterns, partial areas, graduated effects. Sandblasting works on toughened glass just as well as on untoughened glass.
Which kind of sandblasting suits your project?
| Type of sandblasting | Application and effect |
|---|---|
| Full-surface sandblasting | The whole surface of the glass is blasted: an even frosted finish, translucent but not transparent. Privacy without giving up the daylight. |
| Partial sandblasting with clear areas | Blasted areas alongside clear ones: patterns, gradients, logos or visual separations. Widely used on office doors and partitions. |
| Deep sandblasting | A more pronounced attack that creates a relief you can feel at the surface. A textured, more decorative effect. |
| Sandblasting + printing | Sandblasting combined with UV printing or screen printing for elaborate decorative effects. |
Sandblasting combined with printing
For elaborate decorative effects, sandblasting combines with UV printing or screen printing. Sandblasted glass also dresses glass doors and office partitions with privacy bands or patterns.
